Dave Robicheaux returns from near death in James Lee Burke s intense ("San Antonio Express- News" ) thriller the bestselling follow-up to "The Glass Rainbow"
Set against the events of the Gulf Coast oil spill, rife with the menaces of greed and violence and man-made horror ("The Christian Science Monitor"), "Creole Belle" finds Dave Robicheaux languishing in a New Orleans recovery unit since surviving a bayou shoot-out. The detective s body is healing; it s his morphine-addled mind that conjures spectral visions of Tee Jolie Melton, a young woman who in reality has gone missing. An iPod with an old blues song left by his bedside turns Robicheaux into a man obsessed. . . . And as oil companies assign blame after an epic disaster threatens the Gulf s very existence, Robicheaux unearths connections between tragedies both global and personal and faces down forces that can corrupt and destroy the best of men.
